Automatic generation of user webapps (http://localhost/~user/webapp)
In Chapter 9.1 the Java Servlet Specification 2.3 says:
"A servlet container can establish rules for automatic generation of web applications. For example a ~user/ mapping could be used to map to a web application based at /home/user/public_html/."
Does Tomcat 4 support this? I know, the specification explicitly says "can," but this feature would be really useful! All servlet developers could just put their web applications into $HOME/webapps and Tomcat would automatically create them a context on startup.
The WebAppDeploy directive does not seem to support this. Can it be achieved somehow else?
thanks,
Christoph

thanks, and please forgive my ignorance not looking carefully enough
through the docs where I could have found everything myself.

Docs for doing this in Tomcat 4 (stand alone) are available at:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/config/host.html
Scroll down to "User Web Applications" at the bottom. To do this through
Apache, you'd need to convince Apache to do some things for you -- I don't
know how that would be done.
